First Kindle Royalty Payment

I just received an email that I’m to get my first payout in (hopefully) a long and fruitful series of royalty payments from Amazon. While it’s not a lot or anything, it’s always feels great and somewhat miraculous when you get money for something you wrote. I don’t write with the goal of making money, but I’m not going to complain if and when it happens.

The greatest thing is knowing that at least a few people out there are reading what I labor in front of my keyboard to put onto paper. It’s so abstract when you’re sitting in front of a Word document and furiously plugging away, but seeing that someone is reading really brings it home.

If you’ll excuse me now, dear reader, I’m going to go get drunk off of this meager sum Amazon sent me…
